Gary Jules - Mad World

Den bedövande tråkigheten i den här bloggen på sistone är, tyvärr, en ganska ackurat reflektion av min tillvaro. Jag har inte mycket tid över till annat än studierna. För att detta dock inte helt och hållet ska gå ut över er, kära läsare, får ni här åtminstone ett sånt där spännande inlägg med en sång.

Som bonus får ni ett litet tyskt visdomsord också:

Man kann ohne Hund leben,
aber es lohnt sich nicht

--Heinz Rühmann

Nåja, till musiken:
Gary Jules' cover av Tears for Fears' Mad World var med i soundtracket till filmen Donnie Darko, en väldigt speciell film. Men bra. Se den.




Gary Jules - Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world
